Becoming a Member of Christ's Body

What Does Chapelwood Require?

To become a full member of Chapelwood, baptism, profession of faith, and making the vows of membership are required. If you have not previously made a profession of faith in Christ and have been baptized, we require that you do so prior to becoming a member of Chapelwood. Each member of Chapelwood promises to grow in their prayer life (prayers), in attendance (presence), in giving financial resources (gifts), and in serving (service). What Does Chapelwood Recommend?

Dinner and Questions with Jim Jackson is offered quarterly on Sundays, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Jim will share his faith story and vision for the Christian life. You will also have a chance to ask questions and make meaningful connections within the Chapelwood community!

Chapelwood 101 is a two-week class designed for church visitors and new members. Offered monthly, the series will introduce you to Chapelwood´s history and vision for ministry, and the United Methodist faith heritage. You will also be given a tour of our campus.

How Do I Become a Member?

1. Join during any Sunday morning Sanctuary Worship Service. An opportunity to join Chapelwood is extended following the message or sermon. Move to the front of the church chancel during the last hymn or song. You will be introduced by one of our worship leaders who will lead you in your membership vows. Please wear a nametag so that the congregation can welcome you after the service. Allow 25 minutes after the service to be welcomed, to exchange information, and to be photographed.

2. Join during a Membership Gathering. We offer an opportunity for you to join Chapelwood as a group in the Sayers Library several times during the year. For more information, visit the Reaching Ministry page.
